Frame Geometry

B: Chain Stay Length: 13.2”

This is a longer chain stay. It gives you a more stable and controlled feel.

C: Head Tube Angle: 75°

Steep head tube angles make the bike "snappy" meaning more responsive to fast turns.

A less steep head tube gives you more control.

D: Seat Tube Angle: 71°

The seat tube angle can adjust how the top tube feels by making it more or less steep. Most are this angle, it doesn't change very often.

E: Bottom Bracket Height: 11.6"

The bottom bracket height adjusts how low or high your feet are off the ground. Most completes will be this height.

F: Stand over height: 8.5"

This is a tall standover.

A tall stand over allows you to pinch more of the seat for bars and t-bogs.

2021 Subrosa Tiro XXL Price

The Tiro is a low priced bike. Coming in at $379.99 it is priced very similar to the Kink Curb. I like that the bike is so cheap because it will help more people get into the sport.

2021 Subrosa Tiro XXL Quality

A beginner level bike will have beginner level quality. This includes single wall rims, low-quality hi-tensile steel, loose ball bearings, and more.

However, this isn't always a bad thing. If you are a brand new rider, you will want to be able to get a new bmx bike for relatively cheap. By making the bike out of lower quality parts, it becomes really affordable.

Buy if you are learning:

  • 180
  • 360 tap
  • fakie
  • smith
  • feeble
  • x up/x up ride

Don't buy if you are learning:

  • High airs
  • tight carves in bowls
  • big drops down stairs
  • tail whip
  • flips
  • big 360
  • handrail grinds

2021 Subrosa Tiro XXL Conclusion

The XXL version of the Tiro is still for beginners, but it's for tall beginners. It has a 21.3" top tube. Riding a bike with a frame this tall gives the bike a little more controlled and stable feel. The lower quality parts will break once you start crashing and progressing more. If you think that you need something stronger check out some mid-level bikes.
